    N4 direct connect to a BACnet Spyder network

    The JACE is not set up yet , program wiped out
    There are Spyders with Venom programs
    CVAHU -107,which had their AHU’s all running
    JACE lost program , no Backup
    AHU’s all went down
    Have latest version of N4 Honeywell
    Have BACnet RS-485 converter
    Want to Bypass JACE
    Connect directly to network for following
    1- Discover Spyders and get their Network Address
    2-) enable the Fan Enable point so AHU’s
    will run

    I general, it is possible to add a bacnet MSTP to Bacnet IP converter to a new station running on a laptop. Then, while running the station, you can discover your controllers and command them as if your laptop were a JACE. This assumes your Spyders are not LON spyders, and that the configuration of the router itself is correct and he gets along with the devices on the trunks he is joining. Also, I have done this with Alerton, Johnson, and Distech, but never spyders.

    If you are unable to get it done with the description provided, you will likely need someone to come help you out.
    Hmmmm....smells like numbatwo to me.

    It can be done, you should be able to discover the spyder with the converter. Bacnet spyder have dip switches. Dip switch will tell you the addressing on each device. (https://customer.honeywell.com/resou...0s/63-2689.pdf) page 10.
    From there you could right click the spyder and go into diagnostic output. You could force the output from there. Only issue if you cycle power to the spyder then it will lose the force value.
